Have you tried adjusting the pressure switch?

What year is it as early ones were on a microswitch system , later ones went to pressure switches which might be set too high and some even had so called 'smart ' pressure switches which would detect the rise in current as the pump came to pressure and if it failed to do so ( i.e a water leak) then would shut off the pump can you detail which system you have , truma , whale atake photos of the internal bits

A little more information about the pump type would help but for what its worth....

My Whale pressure pump kept running after the taps were turned off. In the external connection point where the pump plugs in, I found there is a small rubber diaphragm that stops the water running back out. My had got damaged somehow. As water was running out of the external connection point the internal pressure dropped and the pump was turned on.

You can get a repair kit from Whale which includes the replacement diaphragm. An easy job to change it.

I had hoped to send the link but if you google ‘Whale - adjusting the pressure switch’ you will find a printable A4 instruction sheet. I have laminated one and keep it in my folder in the van - rarely needs adjusting once set unless changing from hookup to battery supply as it is voltage dependant.
